The Imo State chapter of the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, has urged its members to disregard reports on the sack of Senator Samuel Anyanwu as National Secretary of the party.
Recall that the embattled national scribe of the PDP has been enmeshed in legal battle to save his position. This is even as both the National Working Committee, Board of Trustees and PDP Governors has approved his sacked.
This was stated in a statement by the Imo State leadership of the party, through its publicity secretary, Lancelot Obiaku. Obiaku described the report making the rounds of Anyanwu’s sack as nothing but fake news. He noted that the news was fabricated by individuals who have taken it upon themselves to misinform the public.
The Public Secretary stated that the motive behind the misinformation is in pursuit of their unholy agenda. This, he said, is being tainted with selfishness and desperation.
Obialu maintained that Anyanwu’s position as the National Secretary of the party is still intact. Until the Apex Court gives its verdict.
He said, “Contrary to Ologunagba’s claims, the NWC neither convened nor resolved to affirm Ude Okoye as National Secretary or remove Senator Anyanwu. The official position of the NWC remains that the status quo is maintained. Meaning Senator Anyanwu continues in his position unless the Supreme Court rules otherwise. As the matter is already before the apex court. Any action to the contrary would be subjudice.”
The Publicity Secretary further stated that the Acting National Chairman of the party, Umar Damagun, has dissociated himself from Oogunagba’s statement. Making clarification that Ologunagba allegedly expressed his personal opinion. Which does not represent the position of the NWC.
Imo chapter, through the press statement, therefore, urged its leaders, stakeholders, members, and the general public to disregard any report suggesting otherwise.
The statement read, “The fake news and impersonation are merely part of the ploy by those whose interest lies in sowing confusion and chaos within the party. No one should fall for it.
“As a matter of fact, Senator Anyanwu was in office today, Thursday, February 13, 2025. He was carrying out his duties as the bona fide National Secretary of the party.
“We will continue to stand firmly behind Senator Anyanwu, our leader and illustrious Imo son, as the duly elected National Secretary. Especially as both the law and the party’s Constitution continue to uphold his rightful and well-earned position.”
